Daily Caller launches new Guns and Gear section

The section will include everything from the latest news about armed citizens defending themselves and their property, to coverage of Second Amendment policies and politics, to reviews of the latest guns and gear.

“The millions of Americans who own and are interested in guns are currently without the sort of daily news coverage that is allotted to most other American interests,” said Neil Patel, publisher and CEO of The Daily Caller. “Most of the media would never consider publishing a guns and gear section because they are hopelessly out of touch with American values and interests. This is a sad statement about the media. It’s great news for The Daily Caller,” Patel continued. “As the booming audience for our political coverage has proven, millions of Americans are hungry for new sources of news. We are confident that our Guns and Gear section will receive a similar welcome.”

“There are 80 million gun owners in the United States, concealed carry is commonplace and legal in one form or other in 49 States and it is our intent to provide a knowledge bank and be a resource for gun owners,” said Piccione.

Asked for comment on the Daily Caller’s latest hire, TheDC editor-in-chief Tucker Carlson said “Mike Piccione knows more about firearms and self-defense than anyone in journalism. We’re grateful to have him editing this new section.”
